I didn't see this topic out there yet but there is a new sale for cruises into 2020.  This one has gratuities and OBC.  Flyer attached.  Will upload voyage list separately.

Thanks for posting.

We are booked on one of the cruises on the list. I will wait and see if the cabin price stays the same or if they go up. As of now we are booked under the "Come back new " sale.

I'm booked on one of the listed cruises but it's part of a cruisetour. Do the cruisetours ever get these sales?

[satxdiver]

Thanks for sharing the list.  Unfortunately none of our future cruises is listed so far.

I've booked cruisetours under promotions like this in the past.  The fares for cruisetours don't seem to change as much as the cruise only fares from what I've experienced though.

Thanks for the heads up but unfortunately no 2020 Mediterranean cruises yet on sale.

When does this sale start?  One of mine is on here, will see if it's better than the promo I have booked.

Also I don't see any transatlantic cruises - we have a transatlantic in Nov 2020 - hoping to get a sip and sail deal in June.  I know I will lose my casino fare but hoping that there won't be too much of a price increase when the promo hits. Otherwise we will wait for the 3 for free deal later in the year

You may not lose your casino fare.  I always ask my TA to check fares using the "CASINO" code.  To my surprise, it worked when we booked the newly released Tahiti cruises.  It's worth asking your TA or Princess to use that code when you check to see if a promotion offers a better deal.

Thank you for posting!!!

Much appreciated.

Here's hoping. ... I'm taking our family, so 7 fares.   I'll take even a $50/person reduction..or even less.  I'm sure my TA will be good with the rebook, but I feel a bit guilty having her do it.

I see UK not included, again!! We never seem to be offered all these freebies.

In order to qualify for CASINO fares does Princess have to send you an access ?

My husband gambles a bit on all of our cruises but we've never received anything and I wonder if we qualify for those fares but are just unaware of it.

Casino Fares are linked to your Captain Circle number so if you qualify for one it will come up when booking with your Captain Circle number. Your TA should see the rate when quoting you a fare.

Are you referring to booking under sip and sail?  Generally casino rates don't combine with the sip and sail promo.  We do get the discount with any other promo, though, so there should be no problem with this new May sale.

It's worth a try to insert the code to see if the casino discount is applied.  Rules change all the time.

As I have learned, they enable it even if you haven't been told that you qualify for the discount.  If you've gotten the VIP cruise offers, it's a good bet that you have the discount but the only way to find out is for your TA or Princess to enter the word CASINO when making bookings for you.

[memoak]

I have been told by my Princess PVP that I get casino rate on pretty much any promo except for sip and sail.  It would be nice if they would change that but I am not going to hold my breath

[PoohUnderstands]

Thanks for the heads up.  My Panama cruise is listed, but it would have to really go down in the fare price for me to take advantage as I booked back in November, 2018, under the $1 deposit and Cyber Event - 3 free perks.  More OBC, free gratuities and only $2 for deposit.  So will wait impatiently for May 1st!

Here's hoping that tomorrow brings savings and this isn't a sale in name only like so many other sales in the past.
